James 2

As one might expect, Paul and James, both priesthood leaders, taught the doctrine of Christ with varying emphasis.  Though their teachings were true as the apostles today, you sometimes have to combine all the teachings to have a better understanding the doctrine and its requirements.

James also taught concerning faith and works in that they go hand in hand -

"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience."  (New Testament | James 1:3)

For -

"...be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."  (New Testament | James 1:22 - 25)

Of faith and works -

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."  (New Testament | James 1:27)

For -

"What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."  (New Testament | James 2:14 - 17)

Interesting enough, James explains -

"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"  (New Testament | James 2:18 - 20)

Reasoning -

"Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?"  (New Testament | James 2:22)

Thus -

"Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."  (New Testament | James 2:24)
